friends of suspect dzhokhar tsarnaev are under arrest for trying to protect him. >> reporter: authorities want to stress that the three men behind bars are not charged in the attack but they are accused of interfering with the investigation. authorities say two of the men are charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice by destroying evidence, and a third man is charged with lying to investigators. the three men, dias kadyrbayev, azamat tazhayakov and robel are seen her wednesday in the custody of federal agents shortly after making their first appearance in a boston court. according to the criminal complaint it began hours after the accused of the boston bombing went public. kadyrbayev texted his friend dzhokhar tsarnaev, you look like one of the suspects.
7:04 am
tsarnaev texted, lol, you'd better not text me. go to my room and take what you went. they watched movies before discovering a backpack full of fireworks thatted will been emptied of powder and vaseline. that's when kadyrbayev knew tsarnaev was involved in the attack and he decided to remove the back pack from the room in order to help his friend avoid trouble. he also grabbed tsarnaev's laptop. his attorney had another explanation. >> he did not know they were involved in a bombing or had any intrinsic value. >> reporter: the three friends started to freak out after they learn thad he might be involved in the bomb. they decided to throw away the backpack with the fireworks inside and tazhayakov agreed. investigators found the bag last week in a landfill. they told cbs news the laptop
7:05 am
has also been recovered. so far there's no evidence the three had knowledge of the boston plot in advance. however, one of them did say that about a month before the attack, tsarnaev casually mentioned he knew how to make a bomb. none of the men entered a plea in court on wednesday. if convicted, kadyrbayev and tazhayakov could face up to five years in prison. the third person could face up to eight years. charlie, norah? >> elaine quijano. thank you. with us now cbs legal analyst jack ford. different charges for them, but how serious are they. >> they are serious. it's after the fact. there's no allegations that they knew anything about the bombing beforehand or contributed to the bombing but law enforce manhattan takes the notion of interfering with justice and investigations as very seriously. they're often referred to as message cases. they say, we've got to get the message out there.
7:06 am
you can't lie to us or be ditching evidence. if i'm their lawyers i'm saying, right now, guys, this is pretty serious stuff we're looking at. >> what's the challenge for the defense? >> the defense has to show that somehow they didn't really know what was in the bag. obstruction of justice is you intentionally interfere with an investigation, legitimate investigation. if they said, hey, our buddy called us i've got a bag in my room and i don't want my girlfriend to see what's in there could you tank it, that's one thing. >> except they texted and said, you look like one of the guys. >> even if you don't know exactly what's in the bag, if the prosecution can prove you got rid of it because you thought it might be harmful to your buddy in a serious investigation here, that's probably enough for obstruction of justice. >> i assume they'll use it as leverage. >> if i'm the prosecutor, i'm saying to the lawyers, if you guys want to help yourself, start thinking back, what did
7:07 am
you see? what was the conversation. something that didn't seem important back then may be now. >> take us there now. >> right. cooperation is also key if they get to that stage. >> and where is that laptop, that missing laptop. >> thanks much. taking a cue from boston the fbi is now releasing a photograph from the u.s. attack on benghazi. margaret brennan is at the state department. good morning. >> good morning, charlie and norah. the fbi wants to speak to three unidentified men who were at the compound in benghazi on september 11th. what happened that night is still the topic of debate in washington almost eight months after the attack. these images show three unidentified men who appear to be holding weapons on the ground of the u.s. diplomatic compound in benghazi. the fbi says the men may provide information about the attack that killed four americans. members of congress are also
7:08 am
after more information from the white house. >> i'm not accusing them of a coverup, but i am accusing them and am very strongly accusing them of not providing the congress of the united states with the information that's needed for us to conclude this tragic chapter in american history. >> mccain and his republican colleagues have held more than 20 hearings focused on the attack during the past eight months. now they want to speak to those americans evacuated from benghazi but claim the white house won't release the names. the administration argues that they have answered all relevant questions. president obama said tuesday he remains focused on finding out what happened. >> our job with respect to benghazi has been to find out exactly what happened, to make sure that u.s. embassies, not just in the middle east but around the world, are safe and secure, and to bring those who carried it out to justice. >> but eight months later there are no suspects and no arrests.
7:09 am
this week the families of the fallen will see the names of their loved ones unveiled here at the u.s. state department. added to the list, ambassador chris stevens, glen doherty, ty woods, and sean smith. the union representing the foreign service also has questions about how these deaths could have been carried. they'll honor others aet a ceremony held here tomorrow. >> all right. margaret brennan, thank you. and several wildfires are burning in california. much of southern california is under a red flag warning. that's because of wind, heat, and low humidity. one of the fires is in banning, eight miles east of los angeles. carter evans is there. carter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah. the evacuation order for this area has been lifted, but so far at last check this fire has consume third degree,000 acres and it is only 35% contained.
7:10 am
tonight there are 425 firefighters trying to hold the line because the winds today are even worse than they were yesterday. the fire started around 12:30 wednesday afternoon, and within just a few hours, it had spread to thousands of acres of tinder dry brush. you have the wind and the dry grass so it burns very quickly, and then those winds just push it across those streets and then they hit these hillsides and it just explodes. a wall of flames came within a few feet of dozens of homes, and nearby residents were told to evacuate. joe keener was the only one to lose his home. he barely had enough time to grab his dog and go. >> i came home for lunch and it was a-okay then. i did a little vacuuming, went out to play with the dog, say tu smoke and decided it was time to pack up and get out of here. >> reporter: firefighters used bulldozers to cut around the blaze along with nearly half a
7:11 am
dozen tankers. it's an early start to the california fire season. >> it was fairly active particularly for this time of year. it's only the first of may and we're seeing fire behave like we would expect to see in july, maybe august. >> reporter: hot spots were doused in the evening but weary firefighters are saving their energy for later today when the danger will be a greater, winds will be stronger, and temperatures higher than they were yesterday. and, in fact, this area is expected to experience record-breaking heat today, perhaps in the high 90s. that is 20% higher than usual for this time of the year. and this area has had a lot less rain than usual. that means there is plenty of dry brush to fuel this fast-moving fire. charlie and norah? >> carter, thanks. president obama is meeting in washington this morning and he's bringing his full agenda. bill plante is at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: charlie, good morning.
7:12 am
he's heading to mexico this morning. he's focusing. the trip also coincides with the president's drive for immigration reform. immigration question won't dominate the visit, but it certainly will come up. mr. obama doesn't want it to disrupt the bipartisan talks that are going on right now on capitol hill, but the new mexican president shares the same goals on immigration, le jij miezing the millions of mexicans living now in the u.s. that said mexican migration to the u.s. is currently at its lowest level in 40 years. the reason, mexico's economy is growing faster than that of the u.s. so both presidents may want to highlight mexico's economy as one of the best ways to curb illegal immigration. after a speech to them on friday, the president will go to costa rica for a meeting with central american leaders. he's due back here on saturday night. charlie and norah? >> bill plante, thank you. and the obama administration
7:13 am
is renewing its fight over the morning after pill. the justice department announced plans wednesday to appeal a judge's order. it removes all age limits for buying step-one over the counter. they reduced the age from 17 to 15 in hopes of a compromise. an american citizen has been sentenced to 15 years of hard labor in north korea. kenneth bay has been held for six months. seth doane is in beijing. seth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. we're being told by experts that the american is likely being used by north korea as a diplomatic bargaining chip to try to negotiate his relief. kenneth bay is a 44-year-old korean-american man most recently living in the pacific northwest. he was arrested in north korea back in november. some reports say that he was arrested after taking pictures
7:14 am
of starving north korean kids. the official statement of his sentencing earlier today was quite brief. it said only that he had committed crimes against the state. according to published reports, bae would be at least the sixth american in north korea since 2009. all of the others have been subsequently released or were deported. this would not be the first time that americans would be used as saturday of that high-level bargaining chip. you remember back in 2009 when president clinton traveled -- former president clinton traveled to pyongyang to successfully negotiate the release of the two american journalists. they had snuck in from china and had been sentenced to 12 years of hard labor. all of this, of course, comes amid the bapdrop of ever increasing tensions and the leader kim jong-un threatened all out nuclear war against
7:15 am
america and south korea. that followed, of course, those stepped up u.n. sanctions and also those joint military exercises that were being held in south korea between south korean and american troops. >> all right. seth doane. thank you. and it is moving day at the vatican but not for the current head of the catholic church. pope benedict is returning more than two months after retiring and allen pizzey is in vatican city. allen, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. at any other time in church history the prospect of two popes would promote fears of a schism. there are concerns about what influence his presence could have. when he left the vatican, benedict's staff paid him an emotional public fair well, unsure they would ever see him again. his spectacular flight into exile was watched by a worldwide audience. just before he abdicated the
7:16 am
throne he said he would withdraw in prayer and live out his remaining days hidden from the world. that lasted as long as it took pope francis to unpack his bags and meet pope benedict xvi. there was no transcript of their private conversation and there's no official word on whether they'll meet to discuss church issues. if they want to chat, his new home is there. the vatican spokesman said the 86-year-old is weakened by age but is denying he's in poor health. both are traditionalists with similar strict views on gay rights and other ethical issues. francis for example used the phrase slave labor referring to the garment disaster in
7:17 am
bangladesh, something he will not argue with. by the way, francis will greet him at the door. charlie, norah? >> allen, thanks. two planes clipped each other at newark international. they were on the taxi way preparing for takeoff. this is how the air traffic control tower reacted. >> someone clipped him. the scandinavian jet clipped the region regional jet right there. that united express at romeo mike. he just clipped its tail. there's a freeze warning in colorado and winter storm warnings are posted in minnesota and wisconsin. that's where off to a foot of snow is predicted before day's end. in colorado heavy wet snow made a travel mess yesterday. it's blamed for several travel accidents and at least 50 flight

7:31 am
petraeus, and she talks about her future. that's ahead. advertisers know that being edgy can pay off but in some cases their effort to stand out backfires and terrell brown shows us why some countries are facing a firestorm of controversy. this controversial ad featuring a police lineup of five black men and a goat seems to have fallen flat. a white cop urging a bruised and battered white woman to accuse the mountain dew-crazed goat. >> keep your mouth shut. keep your mouth shut. created violence against women. the ad was reyated by advertiser and producer tyler creator and they were all members of the group odd future which might explain the casting. his spokesman told cbs news that
7:32 am
while tyler is known for pushing boundaries and pushing stereotypes through humor, it was never his intention to offend. this latest controversy coming after a general motors ad featuring ching ching chop suey. people claimed it was offensive to asians and gm apologized. they also make hay over a volkswagen advertisement over a jamaican attitude. despite controversy jamaican tourists said they loved the ad and volkswagen stood by it, which means perhaps there's a fine line between edgy and offensive. >> lefrg be all right. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," terrell brown, new york. gayle king is here along with abbie clawson.
7:33 am
good morning. >> good morning. >> tell me about the mountain dew advertisement. >> i am starting to wonder what's in the water. the mountain dew ad, not just racist but a little bit misogynist misogynistic. what happened is they went out, tried to borrow creativity from tyler the creator, trying to avoid controversy, and this is somewhat we got. >> let's talki about tyler the creator. his twitter is #ftyler and he uses the exact word and there's a picture of him eating a roach. i think, abbie, isn't there a way to be controversial and provocative without being insulting? >> absolutely. listen. we see 250 to 500 add as day, right? and so marketers have to find a way to be surprising, provekive,
7:34 am
get their attention, but these are mass marer. they have to balance it with culture sensitivity so they're not turning off giant swaths of their producers. i think the question here is how much oversight did mountain dew maintain in the spot. sometimes when you partner with a celebrity they have certain demands. >> door they rely on tyler. he's a young bla black man speaking to a young audience. >> a lot of people don't know who he is and they don't know who's behind the ad and all they see is the ad. >> they know who he is now. tyler the creator was not a name and now they're sitting around. >> and now we're talking about mountain dew but not for the right reasons. >> is there going to be a backlash for mountain dew? >> generally when this happens we don't see a change in market because the marketers react
7:35 am
pretty quickly. they pulled it right away. they issued their mea culpa. incidentally i think gm might have the most potential for an impact. >> why is that? >> china is an important market for gm. it's a culture where there's a kind of national lis tick pride right now. they're not even promoting a car that's being sold in china and yet i think it's on the south china morning post. suddenly gm is racist to chinese people. i think that could be potentially problematic. >> that's fascinating. how much does social media pass that along as well? >> that was an ad that was never intended to china. all it takes is one person to upload it on the internet and. >> and now they all know. >> exactly. >> social media is one of a large number of critics who can get in on the game. >> that's right.
7:36 am
and there's a snowball effect. >> what ought to be the test and the standard, you know? >> sure. i think common sense, yeah, absolutely. it's also about, you know, do you have to show these ads to a variety of people. so not just the cool kids who are into tyler the creator. this is an ad that's going to be shown to millions of americans all over. i think you have to find a representative sample of those people. >> i would still like to know the group that they show that too that says it's great idea. it's such a good one because the anatomy behind the story -- >> i think there are more details that will come to light on this one. >> abbie clausen, grade to have you here. and federal agents have raid add dip employee maltic compound just outside washington. they're looking at allegations of human trafficking on the property. as reported they face a huge hurdle. >> reporter: after a tip to a

we've been reporting on new arrests linked to the boston bombing case. "time" magazine reports. with us now, "time" magazine editor and judge michael mukasey served under george bush. welcome. what does it conclude about this balance and mr. attorney general, where did you come down on this yourself? >> we did a poll, charlie, about americans and their attitude
8:19 am
toward security versus privacy and whether they would be willing to give up some sense of privacy and civil liberties in order to have more security which in some ways is the issue because we're talking about could boston have been preventnd and what could have been done in the aftermath. only 40% of americans file like they would want to give up any privacy to be more secure. that gives me a greater real lichl about these incidences. 60% say it's inevitable we'll have terror attacks like this in the future. >> but under you we have continued to expand the rights of the fbi to essentially spy and look in on americans. >> what we have expanded is the authority of fbi to gather intelligence. they never were before 9/11 and they had to do a really paradigm shift in their mandate.
8:20 am
they've been doing it. it's difficult with a bureaucracy that hard. but getting back to the "time" magazine article, in way it's a false dichotomy. i'm not willing to sacrifice my privacy and i neemt willing to ask others to sacrifice theirs. i think if you ask the wrong question, you're going to get the wrong answer. >> what's the right question? >> what's the right question. >> the right question is do we know what the nature is of the ism we're fighting and secondly how best do we deal with it. >> i think if you ask people if they approve of having cameras all over the place in cities, they don't like the idea. >> actually, no. the poll shows that the tolerance for cameras is very high. something like 80% of people feel like the situation we have in london for example where there are cameras all over the place, it's fine. people don't feel for some reason that's intrusive the way they think the government would be more intrusive in looking at their e-mail or text messages, that kind of thing.
8:21 am
>> that's in my mind the wrong question. the government doesn't want to look at their e-mails or listen to conversations in the way that people normally think about. >> so what is the answer? does something have to give here? >> i think people have to know what in general programs involve. i don't think there ought to be secret programs depending on level of generality but there has to be see yet operations. >> but the question is and you know that there are times in which people raise this question. has the government gone too far in its vigilance to stop terrorism or whatever threat there is. >> and their right to raise that question. in my view it hasn't. >> what's the test for you? >> the test for me is whether people are giving up -- certainly is whether people are giving up or being asked to give up rights guaranteed under the constitution and the short answer to that is no way. >> rick, i think one of the stunning things in the press conference the other day is talking about the threats now, the individuals who are
8:22 am
self-radicalized and it's much more difficult to find those people as in the case of the boston bombers. you know in this piece, they have discover 2d 1,000. 21 arrests in just the past three years and those are home grown plots. >> right. so one of the things our piece talks about. >> in less than 30 seconds, rick. >> i'm sorry. home grown threats have increased and they've given the fbi more power since 1978 when the judge increased the powers of the fbi, but they've also had some restrictions about religious facilities and mosques which is a whole new wrinkle. they feel that by reaching tout the islamic communities is a better way to capture terrorists than going into the mosque.

8:35 am
doing. you say in the book everyone is normal. >> we don't use it like 98.6 normal. we sea what is normal for couples who are happy, really happy. we compare everyone against extremely happy couples. what is their normal and if it's working so well for them, shouldn't we consider it? >> that's the poichblt surprising secrets of happy couples. what are the secrets of happy couples. >> there's a lot of them. to me that jumped out is how much affection they give each other, hugging, kissing, i love you every day. 80% say that every day. holding hands, public displays of affection. we really need a lot of fuel for our relationship. it's easy to do. and what we also see the longer they are together the less they do it. >> and affection is different than sex. >> yes. >> some people don't know that. some people think if we're going to have a lot of affection it's going to lead to sex and i don't want sex i want affection this particular time. >> exactly.
8:36 am
>> let's take on the sex question. how often are extremely happy couples having sex? >> well, if you don't take age into consideration, it's three to four time as week. it's a little daunting. let me add if you're 50, it's a couple times a week. but i think the idea is that they feel that way about each other, not that that's some kind of standard everyone has to do, but they've got that connection. >> so three to four time as week. are you extremely happy, mrs. tracy? mrs. tracy says i speak chinese. norah and i are good friends. >> i gave her the answer in the makeup room this morning. it remains between us. >> it didn't come out of left field. you also say that men and women want the same thing, which this was surprising to me and that was -- >> communication. we're not immune from the stereotypes before you get to data and we thought that men
8:37 am
would say sex and women would say row marngs but everyone said communication because, in fact, if you're not talking well, if you can't talk through things together, everything goes down. >> and six to nine years is the crucial time. we heard about the seven-year itch. >> it's a six- to nine-year itch. it's another about things like going outside. things get habitual. everything from hand holding to other things goes downhill just around then. so i think people know when that kind of thing might start to grab the relationship and pull it away from each other. that would be a time to re-up and start to remember all those things you used to do when you were courting and still dome 'do them. >> you see remarkable enthusiasm for this subject so i'm seeing what i can learn. all of this is common sense. you want to communicate, feel affection, all of that. all of that is very fundamental to me. >> we did this study in probably
8:38 am
ten other countries, translated the questions, and one of the things we found is that we look very pallid and unaffectionate and uninvolved compared to the french, the italian, and the spanish. >> yes, indeed. >> we really do. >> but given what charlie said, and you surveyed over 100,000 people, how many people are happy couples? >> well, we want to say how many couples are extremely happy because, you know, in fact, the -- everybody says they're happy, right? not as many as you would hope. although i thought one of the happiest things of the book was that three-quarters of the people in the book said they would mary the same person again and three-quarters were as happy as when they started and a number were happier. >> i have two questions. number one, i just love this idea and always felt i was a lit needy because i like the fact and the communication and being told you're loved. the other question is this is
8:39 am
normal. we've defined what normal is. can you be norm al can you be norm anormal and not that. >> your normal is your normal. >> of our extremely happy couples, 25% of them don't have sex at all or much. somehow they found another normal and they're extremely happy. >> how old are they? >> they could be much older. they might have things that interrupted that. there are a lot of ways to be happy. this book is useful to you if you thing you want to check out are we as happy as we could be or if my normal isn't as normal as it could be, is there another way to go. >> this book is good for turning it around. you can turned it around. >> small ways. people forget the magic of holding hands. it's a very important act. it reconnects you. it's hard to argue when you're holding hands or if you do it in a more civilized way. there's things like that along
8:40 am
the way. people go, no, no, it's too much to do, and if you do these little things, they lead you to the bigger things. >> i could go on. >> you know he likes affection. >> i know. he holds my hand all the time in the morning. >> isn't it powerful? >> it is. >> did you know i kissed him on the air once? >> oh. >> we have lots of love and affection here. >> i'm abashedly needy here. >> it's not needy. it tees right thing to do, it absolutely is. >> we love it. okay. if a picture is worth a thousand words, photos taken by a tennessee woman could speak volumes. she's overweight. she says people mock her. john blackstone shows us how she's now putting them in focus. >> reporter: in palm springs beneath a towering sculpture of marilyn monroe, haley poses for pictures but the real pictures of the photographs are people passing by, in particular those
